I liked Waterworld

Ha, like hell I did. Dirt being worth something, how cinematic. Kostner should stick to either baseball or golf movies and that's it. Yesterday some channel (maybe up in the #800's I forget) showed Tin Cup and Bull Durham back to back. I didn't stick around long enough to see if Field of Dreams or For Love of the Game were on afterwards, but some old classic Kosty (not Kotsay) made for a decent lazy Monday off. If I had one question to ask one actor it would probably be how many times Kostner has pulled a Tin Cup in a pro-am and done the "snap" and "give me another one, Romes" line just to get a huge larf (not laugh) out of the crowd. I do it all the time just to get myself going. Some people are so easy to amuse.

Why no post game wrap up? No analysis? I don't want to talk about it. I've officially gone into the part of the season where I strongly believe the less you pay attention and the less you care, the better the Sox will do. It's part "cutting ties" in case they totally eat it then I'm that much further away from the flaming wreckage and it's part superstition. Of course I'll also run out of interesting movie quotes and the other quirky material I sometimes provide pretty quickly, so chances are I'll be back on baseball pretty soon.

I'm right on board with if you ignore them, they'll win. If I sit & don't yell at the TV, they do much better. Once I yell & root them on, they take a nosedive. So if they start winning tonight, I have probably gone out for the evening...
